Music Festival Master / Editor-in-ChiefKeisuke Hane
Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC and in charge of music festivals. When I attended my first music festival as a freshman in college, I was captivated by its charm—“I can’t believe there’s a place this free and this fun.” I share information about wonderful music festivals every day to help grow the community of festival fans.

We’ve gathered events from August music festivals that feature rock bands.

This is the height of summer, and many festivals are being held.

These events are perfect for letting yourself get swept up in the summer heat and the excitement of the venue.

Use them as inspiration for making summer memories.
